Wonderful article! So genuine and down to earth. I'd love to hear about all the different books you've read and which one had a real impact on your way of thinking (vs ones you forgot 3 months later)

thx Sienna! I imagine you reading this with coffee in hand, gazing at a great view of the Rockies, on a brisk Boulder morning. No idea if that is anywhere close to the truth but hey it makes me happy 🙃

👍Hi there, this is Jane’s mom. Enjoy you humor very much. I can identify with you guys since I felt the same way when I was at that stage of my career/life. I took the unconventional path and never regretted it. 😊

👍 interesting & informative. If we read this piece in our quarter-life career, we would have stayed in Fountainbleau and be this dude Denis’s neighbor. 😀

Denis, quite an amazing piece! Do also take lots of videos as you are living through the life transformation. Would love to see a documentary one day of your life experiences on Netflix... or Deniflix.

Being a biography buffer, I often read narratives reconstructed from the point of an ‘end point’. What you are doing is far more interesting - you are documenting the internal as well as external struggles while you are at it...with your own target post being created and recreated.

Great lucid writing as well! Love to read more specific stories, both of success and failure.

Loved this, Denis, and excited to read more! I'm so proud of you and KT and think your huge move was so brave, so I can't wait to hear more in detail here about your perspective/the process to get there/what's coming next xox
